My hero

Ah a very good question, I liked the 24hr race challenge they did but I think the first car/boat challenge one was quite good.

For top laughs the American trip was good

I voted 24hr race simply cause the Stig is rather good in it.

watched the 24 hr race again on Dave t'other night, have to say it was better than i remembered first time round! stig was awesome for sure but that was a race where i thought, "yep, LOVE to do that!", touble is i don't have an ace mechanic as back up, nor the capital to fund such an adventure!!

i've not voted yet! loved the US one....and the Verbier race where Clarkson overtook them on the high street was one exciting at the time...

ooo dunno...

A lot of the challenges they do are pretty good - The datsun one ( i think it was datsun) where they each had to buy one and put it through test eg park it on 33% hill with handbrake, ride of that test track (forget its name) with a bowl of egg above them, fill the cars with water and see how far they get around the track before it goes below the steering wheel.

Most of their challenges are pretty funny in my opinion
